    Along the Way…

    Make sure to check out the “You Are Beautiful” mural at 154 Walker Street. The mural was an Earth Day gift created by the artist collective of Artist Trifecta – Caitlin Awalt (planned design), Chad Awalt, Erica Awalt, Margot Perez, Allen Manry, Philip Myrick, Amanda Brown and Anthony Thorpe. The actual mural took only 4 hours, but preparing the wall took a full day thanks to the many layers of posters. More about the “You Are Beautiful” mural campaign – www.you-are-beautiful.com.
